Well? Get to it!

[Black Wolf]

Import Background button in FRED
And a flip Icon button for the briefing window.

[Starman01]

Change Asteroid-Field t'sphere instead o' current cube. I guess X,Y,Z coordinates are still possible then   (a little older request by me, but I thought I give it another try )

(edit)  I forgot,    Arrrgh Matey  

[Turambar]

support for different resoultions and aspect ratios
specifically 1280x800 widescreen

[Singh]

export current background to a .pof in FRED?

• Add/remove background bitmaps an' suns
• Switch th'mission t'a nebula mission (or aft t'a normal one)
• In a nebula mission, change th'Lightnin' Storm setting
• Change th'selected Poofs

...also, would it be possible t'make th'Ambient Light settin' functional (or otherwise make it possible t'define ambient lightin' on a per mission basis)? [/B]

Arr.

I don't see that one in the near future. There would be no way to transition smoothly from neb to non neb, not to mention in non neb missions the textures don't get paged in, among many other things.

I think you told me to bump this thread after the code freeze.

That's not a problem for me. But if thar be other technical reasons why it can't be done that's fine.

Although if that one can't be done then it kind o' cancels out th'rest for me (at least for what I want to use it for in the near future), I guess I'll have t'find a way around it.

[Turambar]

is it possible to have different colors of light from different sides, like, say theres a blue nebula on one side, and a green nebula on the other side, is it already possible to have blue light coming from one side and green from the other?

i'll bet this is already possible and i'm just making myself look dumb

Well i think thats the only tough one really.  Were you planning on having it appear and disappear or have it fade in from nothing?

This will allow you to horizontally flip the icons so they face the right direction? You know, I was going to ask for that myself about a year ago but forgot about it.

[Unknown Target]

A bloody dynamic LOD system!

create invisble suns in the stars table and add $NoGlare: to the end so they don't whiteout the screen when you look into them.

Transitioning is easy (use the fade-in/fade-out SEXPs) and paging in could be done based on something else other than the mission flag.

I already did ask for it a year ago (almost dead on actually)

[EDIT]I know I didn't personally request this, but I remember someone did - nebulae lightning (possibly with the option to have sounds on/off) without actually having a full neb - would be brilliant for missions set in unstable subspace nodes.

TBP could use a method of simulating the focusing effects for the Vorlon ships and the Victory.  I had 2 ideas on how to simulate the effect, but I much prefer the 2nd idea.  I explained my ideas in THIS thread.  It uses a system of secondary beamglows and beams focusing towards the main beamglow, with a bit of a delay between the two, so the secondaries warmup before the main one does.

Broader support for Multi-species, with additional options.

Broader support for mulit-docking.

Customizable icons table classes, rather than the different classes being hard-coded by type and location in the list.

Customizable (rather than hard-coded) warp sequences, like warpout speeds, which are determined by class flag ATM.  Ability to disable the visual warping effects, without losing the accel/deceleration effects when you use the current option to not show the effects.

That's all for the moment.

From a technical point of view, just switching without transition.

That's what I figured.
